Hi Guys,


I drive my car regularly and want more power but want to keep the car reliable. I'm thinking of doing a pulley with a tune. What do you suggest size wise and how much hotter will the car run without cooling upgrades?

AMG E Power

Search is your friend, 168mm crank pulley or supercharger pulley

E55Freak

if you haven't done so yet, just replace your IC pump...$100 and 30 mins max to swap out and peace of mind for now...it will wake your car up if the pump isn't 100%.

The car only has 56K original miles on it so I think the I/C pump should be ok. I was considering the 172mm ASP pulley and dyno tune opposed to having it flashed. Thoughts?

I installed a smaller SC pulley combined with a 'tune' (transmitted to my computer, then connected to the OBDII receptacle for installation) about 3 weeks ago. I'm very pleased with the results, and the two guys who've ridden with me when I 'punched' it were AMAZED at the acceleration. Car has 49K miles on odo.

I liked the SC pulley, as that approach is easy to do, and does not increase the speed of the other belt driven components on the engine. Just increases the boost ~2PSI. I also installed the belt wrap kit, and no more 'chirp' when the SC is activated.

Thank you, seems like a good option.

That chirp sounds kinda cool though

BI-Performance

We suggest the blower pulley, belt wrap kit and B.I.P V2 Tune, and split cooling. We made 84rwhp/94rwtq, let us know how we can help brotha!

You are 100% wrong.


Mine was replaced at 32,050 miles... Get the Bosch "010" version installed before you waste $$$ on anything more expensive. When the IC pump fails it doesn't matter how big your crank pulley or H/E is.... you'll be getting walked by minivans.

Damn, that's crazy. I guess for the price, better safe than sorry

Damn.....

I thought of something funnier:

"You'll get walked by a 350Z pulling a trailer with a riding lawnmower"


Now THAT'S slow!!!!

Went to the track, cut a 12.97 @ 108. Changed the pump to the Bosch and went back.....12.07 @ 114. Both really blazing hot days.

LAKTASH

Enough said, I'll change it with upgrades. How much power does your car make for the 12.07? Also, was that on drag radials?

f8l ws6

No idea on power but all I have done is whats in my signature. No drag radials either, the car is really hard to launch, it took many runs to get it right. I managed a 1.8 60 foot on that run and everything just hooked great. What ended up working was : Put car in Dyno mode, Huge burnout, put car into raised, stalled up as high as I could, and when I left I didn't mash it right away. I just sort of eased into it at first then mashed it. I was lucky it didn't spin!

LAKTASH

Yeah, that's a killer driving job.

Trust me on this it is very important to do an Upgraded Clutch Pack and intercooler pump change (johnson cm30). After doing this you can get a tune but these two upgrades need to be done before you even think about a pulley.. I have only 40k miles on mine

LAKTASH

You prefer the Johnson over bosch?

Denroll

Some guys just prefer the Johnson.

Vader55

Yes, the newer 010 Bosch pumps are much better but I with out a doubt will run the cm30 over the Bosch

fabtech sells both with the Bosch about 30 bucks cheaper..

Uhhhhh.....lol

LAKTASH

Good deal.


I'm leaning towards doing the sc pulley, I/C pump, h/e, tune and calling it a day. Thanks for the help guys

Worth the wait

Listen to Craig from BIP.

Do not do a crank pulley.

End discussion.
